MICHIGAN'S BENEFACTOR. AN OPT REPEATED STORY OF TRUE PHILANTHROPY. Whnt Chna. 11. Ilarklor Una Done for We.tern Michigan. (From Grand Rapids, Mich., Evening Press.) The raot beautiful spot In nil this city Is inseparably associate! with tho name of Hackloy. Chas. 11. Hackloy has been In tho lumber business hero continuously slnoo 1R56. and iu that timo has amassed n fortune which fflves him n rating among tho wealthy mon of tho nation. But with wealth thero did not come that tightening of tho purse strings which Is generally n marked charac teristic of wealthy men. It Is no wondor then that tho namo of Charles 11. Hackloy is known at homo and abroad. His muniflcenco to Muskegon nlono represents an outlay of noarly half a ■million. For tho past twenty years ho has been a constant sufferer from neuralgia and rheumatism, a'so numbness of tho lower limbs, so much so that It has seriously Inter fere I with his pleasure in life. For some time past his friends hnvo noticed that ho has Buomnd to grow young again and to have recovered tho health which he had in youth. To a 'reporter for tho News Mr. Hackloy explained the secret of this transformation. "I have suffered for over 20 years,' 1 ho said, "with pains In my lower limbs so severely that the only relief I could get at night was by putting cold water compresses on my limbs. I was bothered more at night than in the day timo. The neuralgio and rheu matic pains in my limbs, which had been growing iu intensity for years, finally be came chronio. I made three trips to the Hot Springs with only partial relief, and then fell back to my original state. I couldn't sit still, and my sufferings began to make iny life look very blue. Two years ago last Hoptember I noticed an account or Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and what they had douo for others, and some cases so nearly resembled mine that I was interested, so I wrote to one who had given u testimonial, an eminent professor ormusio In Canada. The reply I received was even stronger than the printed testimonial, and It gave me faith in the medicine. "I began taking tho pills and found them lo be nil that tho professor hud told mo they would bo. It was two or throo months be fore I experienced any perceptible better ment of my condition. Mv disease was of such long standing that I did not expect speedy recovery an t was thankful oven to bo relieved. 1 progressed rapidly, however, towards recovery and lor tho Inst six months have felt myself a perfectly well man. I have recommcnaed tno pills to many people and nm only too glad to assist others to health through tho medium of this wouder ful medicine. I cannot say too much for whnt it has done for me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contnin all the elements necessary to give new life and rich ness to the blood an I restore shattered nerves. They are for stile by all druggists, or may bo had by mail from Dr. Will lams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., tor fifty cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50.

PHU2 >OS A VOICE FROM THE NIGHT. | O heron, from tho lonoly shoro Unceasingly thy cry, 111-boding, dismal, harsh, Arises through tho mist of night That gathers deep and cold and whlto Upon tho silent marsh, Dim, drifting shrouds that foldod lio Around mv door. What shadow of tho future's noods Dismays thy simple heart, Poor dweller in tho fog? What evil spirit of unrest Disturbs the quiet of thy nest Beyond tho tussocked bog? Do demons even ply their art Among tho roods? Perhaps thy bright-oyod mate is led Across tho winding creek, Bolatod, tired of wing. Then grieve not! Soon thy loving note As beacon's blaze to storm-tossed boat Tho wanderer will bring. O heron, can the words I speak Recall the dead? O heron on the lonely shoro, The east is grny above ; Thy watch Is well nigh done, And gentle dawn will bring thee sloop, While I my ondloss vigil keep, Unwelcoming the sun; For she, my light, my life, my love, Will come no more. —n. Preseott Beach, in Lippincott. ON EVEN TERMS. OU nppoar to forgot that this fellow jj j Vaughan has the C O reputation of being ono °* " le mos * d 0 8" P era '° criminals that evel s ' e PP e< t- 'King tho Coiners' he is rightly name.!; bnt ' '▼ it is chiefly because he is at tho head of a dangerous gang. And because, by a lucky chance, you have found out that ho is living in private lodgings under an assumed name, makes it none tho less risky for us two alono to attempt his capture." It was in a decidedly dissatisfied touo that Mr. lloche, tho deteotive, urged upon his superior officer the hazardous nature of tho business they were upon; but Arnold Bond merely smiled good hamoredly as ho re sponded : "Whatever risk there may be, Roche, I think I shall face. And as I expect to tako our man entirely by surprise, iu tho very bosom of his family, I don't uuticipato muohrosist anco. Still, lam prepared for it, and don't think that ho will easily givo us tho slip. For tho rest, you will simply carry out my instructions." Tho two detectives knooked at tho door of an unpretentious looking house in a quiet street of'the east end of London. Almost immediately, a respectablo looking woman opened tho door, and, stepping back, said, boforo Bond could speak: "Ah, sir. I don't believe they ex pected you again to-night; but it's well you've come, for tho poor mito is very bad, they say." With the ever ready wit of ashrowd deteotive, qniok to tako advantage of tho slightest error, Bond instantly checked tho exclamation of surprise which sprang instinctivoly to his lips, and, stepping in, quietly observed: "Indeed I I am sorry to hoar that. Our usual friend could not oomo him self, bnt, as his partner, 1 thought it advisahlo to look in again. Let mo see—Mrs. Sutton, second flloor, is it not ?" Neither of tho detectives scarco ven turod to breathe as they anxiously waited to see the result of this rather haphazard remark. "Oh, I took you for Dr. Dalton his solf, sir! Yos, second floor. It's rather dark, hut I darosay you can find your way up. Lor' I I nover knowod boforo as how tho doctor had a partner." "This gentleman is merely a friond of mine. If you don't mind, ho will wait for mo in tho passage. I don't suppose I shall bo many minutes," Bond said, inwardly chuckling with sntisfaotiou at tho lucky mistake which had, undoubtedly, saved him and his companion no little at tho outset. Leaving his subordinate—who had previously received careful instruc tions—Arnold Bond, with heart beat ing a little faster than usual, cautiously mounted tho dark, narrow staircaso and tapped at a closed door facing him. ThoD, without waiting for any reply, ho instantly opened it, and as quickly stepped into the room and shut tho door after him again. "Surrender yourself my prisoner. Michael Vaughan, alias ltalph Sut ton," he said, sternly, as a tall, bearded man sprang hastily to his feet with a startled exclamation, and confronted him. A momentary panze; then, with an oath, tho coiner snutched up a chair, and raising it above his head, was about to hurl it at tho detective; but as quickly dropped it, as his eye rested ou tho revolver Bteadily levelled at him. "Trapped!" ho ejaculated, savagely, glaring at the officer. "And in this torn fool fashion, too. But thero's treachery here," he added, fiercely, "aud if I—" "Michael, Michael," interposed a woman's voice, in pleading tones, "you're forgetting poor little Jess. You know tho doctor said she must be kept perfectly quiet." "Ah, Jess, poor mite," said the coiner. "No, wonder I forgot every thing, when Bond himself jumped up before mo like magio! Well, I'm fairly nabbed; but if it wasn't for her," he added, with a bitter empha sis, pointing to a bed in a corner of tho room, "you'd never tako ®io in this squeamish fashion." The bod was occupied by n little girl of about six years of age, who, it needed no second glance to perceive was very near to death indeed. Sho was wide awake, staring in mute ter ror from the detective to her father and back again. Nor did the white face of the coiner's wife, who stood trembling by the bedside, express much less alarm than the child's. "Let's clear out boforo you frighten my voung 'un to death," said the coiner, in a quieter voice. "Never mind, Joss," he wont on, turning to the child and speaking in such a ten der and soothing tone that Bond stared with astonishment, "Perhaps, soon, I shall come back, and then you'll bo better, and we will—" Vaughn's voice faltered, and he paused. "Ah, take him away, sir, but don't hurry him over what he very well knows must be tho last goodby he'll ever say to his child! What hope there may have been you'll take with you but to take it at this moment—" The wretched mother, unable to ar ticulate another word, sank into a chair, hid her face in her hands, and gave way to a sudden outburst of grief. "Is tho geutloman going to take you away, then, daddy?" the child said freely. "Oh, don't go ! Ido so want you to-night." Then looking at tho detective with great, earnest eyes, little Jess continued, half indignant ly, half pathetically: "How would your little girl like you to bo taken away if she was ill, and wanted you to stop with her dreadfully bad?" An involuntary smile gathered for ono brief instant on the stern counte nance of Bond. "It's truo, worse luck," whispered the coiner, stepping near his captor. "Poor little beggar, she's mighty bad, and the dootor says the next low hours means lifo or death. More'n anything she's got to be kept particular quiet, so let's clear out and leave 'em; and, please God, I'll see her again yet. Yes, my prince of traps, you can see what makes me such a misorablo cow ard, eh?" As if ashamed of the tremor in his speech, the coiner turned, and, tak ing down his hat, crushed it upon his bead and approached tho door with a rigid countenanco and twitching lips. Apparently, ho dared not trust him self to tnke even a farowoll look at his child. But, as Arnold Bond moved toward tho door also, his glance fell for uu instant upon tho thin, white face of little Jess, who had already fallen back exhausted. She was gazing steadily at her father, who, however, kept his face carefully averted. The pitiful, plead ing expression in the sick child's eyes struck tho detectives to tho heart, for it was a look which expressed more eloquently than any words the bitter disappointment she felt at seeing one Bho evidently denrly loved about to bo takon from her this night of all nights. The detective paused abruptly, hes itated a moment, and then the reso lute expression on his features soft ened suddonly, and ho said, in a half jocular tone, to hide the emotion ho could not entirely concoal: "Stay, Vaughan; I can't do it after all. I can't take such a cruel advan tage of even you at a time like this! That's all and good night." "Bond, Bond," cried the king of the coiners, springing forward as ho recovered from his momontary stupe faction, "Heaven prosper you for this! Bad as I am, I hope I'll bo ablo to givo you your reward for this, if it's years to come." A moment later the detective hud gone. He had sacrificed an opportu nity of adding enormously to his rep utation. It was a year later beforo the author ities succeeded in discovering the "fac tory" where Vuughun and his confed erates turned out the cleverly made counterfeit coins which had so long been passed with impunity in most quarters of the metropolis. But after infinite trouble Bond found out all ho wanted to know, and ono night ho surrounded with his men the counterfeiter's den. Bond got within a few feet of tlio door, and was already thinking how neatly ho had managed everything, when suddonly, and without the slight est warning, tho whole floor seemed to cavo in beneath his feet; and as he threw out his arms with a startled cry, tho trap ho had unoousciously sprung turned completely over and throw him into u largo well-lighted cellar below. Before ho could rise some seven or eight men had soazed him, and amidst a storm of oaths and threats, bound him hand and foot, despite his strenuous struggles. "You fools!" cried Bond, exasper ated beyond measure. "Let mo tell you tho game is up! My men sur round the j)lace, and this little joke will only mako matters a great deal worse for you. You'd better—" "Joke," repeated ono of the coin ers, with a lierce laugh. "Well, wo'll see. What say you, boys? What says our oath?" "Doath to tho trap who bowls us out?" auawored a burly, villainous looking follow. "Surrounded wo may bo, but what of thnt? Haven't wo moans for gottiug away through tho burrow at tho llrst alarm?" "Ayo, but not if wo stand chucking precious minutes away in empty talk," interrupted another of tho gang. "Quick, pals! Hero's an end to our snug little business, and so lot's make an end of this interfering sneak be fore we cut. Tho traps outsido may smell a rat if ho doesn't soon give 'em the cue." Without another word one of tho coiners stepped up to tho prostrate officer and, with a savage exelamma tion slipped the nooso of a rope over Bond's head and drew it uncomforta bly tight round his nock. Another of the desperate crew at once threw the other end of the rope ovor one of tho beams which supported tho Ador ing above. Tho detective now recognizod to tho full extent the really serious nature of his position; and, half dazed by the terrible calamity which had so suddenly befallen him, was giving up all hopo of escape, when for tho first time the leader of tho gang—Michael Vaughan—himself spoke. "Leave him to me, lads, and get you along while you may. There's not a jiffy to lose. Hark ! hear tho traps! They'ro breaking in already." "We don't go until we'vo choked tho life out of tho rat. Who's put 'em on our trail? Run him up sharp and have him a pleasant surprise to his friends," replied one of tho ruf fians. > With these words tho unfortunate officer was jorked off his feet, but at the same moment Vaughau snatched up a formidable knife and at a single stroke severed the rope above liisihead. "I'm with you, Mr. Bond," ejacu lated Vaughan, with grim determina tion stamped upon his white face. ' 'Aha! see how my mutinous ci ew sink back from your bulldogj And by all that's lucky for us both, here come your men. Another minute's delay and I reckon it would have gone a bit hard for us both." Almost before he had finished speaking the long cellar-like room be came for a short space a scene of des perate struggling, tho walls echoing a chorus of savage cries and shouts. Of all tho members of the gang their loader alone offerod no resistance, but lapsed into moody silence. Only when tho opportunity offered did ho whisper in tho detective's ear— "You see, I haven't forgotten what I onoe promised, sir, although you only had a smasher's word for it. Perhaps you didn't know it, but I reckon you had the life of my little Jess in your hands that night a year ago, and maybe you'll agree now that I've paid a fair price for it. As for me—but there, we're on even terms onco more."—London Tit-Bits. A Deiense of Dirt. Every few years somebody raises the question whether St. Paul's Cathe dral in London ought not to be cleansed from the soot with which it is en crusted, and restored to something like its primitive whiteness. Some time ago an experiment of the sort was made op one of tho porticos, which forthwith assumed a mottled or pie bald appearance. Now the matter has come up for discussion again, and the following interesting point is made in a letter to the Times by a well known architect: "I have had the opportu nity, when examining some of our Loudon stone-faced 'churches, of re moving the coat of dirt with a view of seeing the condition of the stone un der it, and have found it to bo perfect. Tho casing of dirt nppearcd to be made chiolly of road dust which had adhered to the stone (only tho outer coat of all being gray black). All the deleterious chomicals must have gone out of tho lower layer, so that the dirt was a per fect protection. If it woro all cleaned off, the stono would bo subjected to tho strong chemicals in our London atmosphere. It must bo remembered that this dirt only adheres to the parts which are not completely washed by tho rain, aud that it is just these parts, therefore, which are in most need of protection. If at some futuro timo the atmosphere of London should be as pure as tho atmosphere of tho coun try is now, it might be wise to act on the suggestion, but until that timo comes I sincerely trust that no suoh experiment will be made."—Washing ton Star. By Balloon. Perhaps the North Polo may bo reached in a balloon. The question has Veen mooted and may be carried out in tho near future. A balloon with a cubic contents of 50,000 feet aud capable of lifting twenty tons, furnishod with a number of "smaller balloons containing a roservo supply of hydrogen, Wigdd certainly seem to give every promise of success. The balloon would carry five men, with baggage, a number of Eskimo dogs, several boats aud a large sledgo. It is calculated that from Spitsbergen, where the trip will bogin, tho air cur rents which blow stoadily from tho south, will carry them across the Arctic circlo and directly over the North Pole in a flight of about four days' duration. Thus, instead of as sisting to destroy human life, tho mil itary balloon may be tho means of tho discovery of a new continent, proviug onco more that "tho glory of a scien tific invention is its utility to man kind."—Boston Herald.

Dr. PIERCE'S Golden Medical DISCOVERY Cures Ninety-eight per cent, at all cases of Consumption, in all Its Earlier Stages. Although by many believed to he incura ble, there is the evidence of hundreds of living witnesses to the fact that, in all its earlier stages, consumption is a curable disease. Not every case, but a large per centage of eases, and we believe, fully 9S per cent, are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (includ ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh and extreme emaciation and weakness. Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by "Golden Med ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease ? You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have 110 interest whatever in mis representing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery," but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the hypopho'a phites had also been faithfully tried in vain. The photographs of a large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skillfully reproduced in a book of 160 pages which will be mailed to you, on re ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.

The pig Just killed weighed about twenty-five pounds, and was a mate to some other pigs owned by said George Pigg, which left George Plgg a pig less than he (said George Plgg) had of pigs, and thus ruthlessly tore said pig from the society of George Pigg's other pigs against the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.—Courier- Journal. In a recent nrt'olc on Coffee and Cocoa, the eminent German Chemist, Professor Stutzer, speaking of tho Dutch process of preparing Cocoa by the addition of potash, and of tho process common in Germany in which ammo nia is added, says: "The only result of these processes is to make the liquid appear turbid to tho eye of the consumer, without effecting a real solution of the Cocoa substances. This artificial manipulation for the purpose of so called solubility l, therefore, more or less in spired by deception, and always takes place at the cost of purity, pleasant taste,useful notion and aromatic flavor. The treatment of < 'ocoa by such chemical means is entirely objection able. . . . Cocoa treated with potash or ammonia would be entirely unsalable but for the supplementary addition of artificial flavors by which a poor substitute for the aroma driven out into the air is offered to the con sumer."
